Second-hand kids’ clothing in Kalgoorlie typically sells for A$10 to A$67 (about $7 to $47). Well-known brands hold their money because parents trust them to survive a second child, while supermarket ranges have very little resale value at any age. Outerwear and shoes carry far more than everyday tops.
Buying kids’ clothing in Kalgoorlie
Kalgoorlie is the gold town of the desert interior, built around one of the largest open pits in the world, and it has been mining continuously for well over a century. A large part of the workforce flies in and out rather than living here, and the heat and dust are constants.
Bundles are heavy and cheap, so postage swallows the saving that made them worth buying at all. Collecting a boxful in one trip is what keeps the price low, and it is why this trade almost never travels far.
What to check in person
Look at how many washes the fabric has had, judged by bobbling and faded colour rather than by the label. Check elastic at waists and cuffs still recovers, and make sure school items carry the right badge for the school you actually need.
Collecting it in Kalgoorlie
It fits in a bag, so most people meet on the way to something else. A station or a high street works, and neither side needs a car.
Driving is the only option and the town is laid out on a grid, which makes meeting simple. Roster weeks matter more than hours here, so establish when the seller is actually in town before anything else.

Mining rosters govern the whole market. Households are set up for a contract and cleared when it ends, and a downturn puts a great deal onto the market at once. Heat and dust also shorten the life of anything mechanical, so equipment turns over faster than elsewhere.
Sell it as a bundle by age and say how many pieces are included and what they are. Photograph everything laid out together, and be honest about any marks, because parents buying second hand expect wear and price it in. Moves in waves as each school year turns over, with a clear lift before September.
Bank transfer via PayID is instant and is what most private buyers will offer. Cash on collection remains common for larger items.
